K Tippett

[Beachsleeper]

Can only assume thread was started because non-Swans fans who entertain such thoughts like taking it sans lube. To those foolhardy few, we salute you. To everyone else? See you next Saturday.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Is this a new record for a thread blowing up in your face? Less than 2 hours is probably not the quickest but in terms of just how badly it went combined with how quickly it went bad, it's gotta be up there. Top 3 or 5 at least.

Kurt just shat in the OP's mouth.

 

[crownie]

didn't look great when the heat was on in the first quarter but good on him for kicking 4 goals in the end.

If they play the hawks and he plays well then Sydney probably wins, if he doesn't the Hawks defence might be too much for the swans.

Well that would be true to form

I wouldn't know. I don't know the OP that well.

 

[SSFC]

He is on less then 650 and on his output over the last 2 years he should be playing for free.

He's kicked 64 goals in his 24 games for the Swans. That's up there with the best. He just needs to stay on the park.

And considering his size (not good for knees) and playing style (not good for further concussions), that's easier said than done.

 

[SterlingArcher]

I do lol at people saying "he is only good at standing near the goalsquare and taking marks".

Err, when the Swans play fast long footy (and mostly on the small ground of the SCG) and have Buddy roaming the 40-70 meter distance, they don't need him to do anything else.

Stresses coaches to no end with his marking, let alone getting McGlynn, Cunningham, Jetta, Goodes around his feet...

He doesn't need 15 disposals and 20 hitouts to be effective for Sydney.

However, as above, he does need to be on the field.

 

[BluesMan]

Very good player. So dangerous

 

[Brown Bottle]

Whatever he's being paid any other club would pay and more.

 

[Swansujelly]

he's not on a million a year.

Having Tippett is like having a 150k Mercedes as a back up car

Buddy is the Ferrari and you use him the most, but it's reassuring to know you've got a quality ride sitting back doing 500ks a year

That makes Tom Mitchell the 100k gold plated Segway that you park in your garage just to piss off the neighbours.

then you offload your gold plated segway to your neighbour because you've got a solid gold segway parked next to it, a solid gold segway that you bought at hawthorns 2009 garage sale

He can really stand up and put his mark on a game, needs to have his kicking boots on next weekend.

 

[boncer34]

Would have to be the highest paid for actual return.

Takes the odd mark, kicks the odd goal, provides a contest.

But at a million or year if that's true, I doubt there's ever been a more overpaid player.

What do you think now Gav?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Gets paid $1 mil a year for being tall.

Still bitter. Who do you hate more, Tippett or Gunston?

Tippett. By the length of the straight.

Him, Trigg, John Reid and anyone else tied up with that mess should be lined up and shot.

Davis or Bock come into the equation taking the expansion teams money and deserting Adelaide

Not a bad spine: Davis, bock, Gunston, Tippett. Could almost build a premiership tilt around that.
